Baby blue skies
ruby red blood
Body left lying
here in the mud

Blinded by a life that
once seemed so good
All of it now but one
deadly falsehood

Life’s mirage showed
I was on the right track
As the reality of it all
stabbed me in the back

Hurt beyond measure
with no sane way out
I lay here in anguish
any future is in doubt

I do not know if I have
the strength to go on
to rise from the mud
before life is all gone

the wonder of the night is such a sight to see
stars up in the sky as clear as can be.

moonlight shining brightly all across the sand
like a great big lighthouse lighting up the land.

breeze is blowing gently all along the shore
such a lovely feeling something i adore.

a perfect little  picture so peaceful and so calm
the wonder of the night filled with so much charm

I'm tired of holding myself up
I'm tired of standing
I want someone to carry me
I want someone to sit with me
I need someone right now
It sounds selfish. Well I'm sorry. I am constantly worrying about others. So let me have this one.
Poem to no one

I remember
I remember when I saw her for the very first time
The way she walked was so exquisite
Her lips were so plump and juicy
She was just a fine specimen
I remember wanting to run after her so bad
But in my mind I thought she was just too good for me
I mean look at me
I'm just a mere mortal born in the wrong place at the wrong time
While she, she was clearly an angel that fell from heaven
Everything about her was just perfect
Her eyes were like precious jewels that shimmered under any and every light
Her voice was so sweet yet had a certain essence of power behind it that could not be described
I remember my heart racing at the speed of light
Pounding so hard that I began to think that it would fall out
My eyes were beginning to dry because I couldn't find the strength to close them as she walked by
My speech became jumbled as if I was never taught how to speak in the first place
I'd curse myself because I feared that if I didn't say something soon another man would swoop her away
I mean she was just that beautiful
Too beautiful for me to muscle of the strength I clearly did not have
So I just wrote this poem titling it to "no one"
Because to her the girl I let get away I am no one
See how she had changed
See how she had grown
Nothing stayed the same
All were due for change

She cried to the world
But it never understood her tears
She gave out a brittle laugh instead
For the whole world would always seem not to care

She'd been always compromising for everyone else
Yet she ended up getting nothing in return
She was trapped in the confusion of her mind
She was lost with no way out

She was in the labyrinth
So labyrinth she became
Who was she?
*She was someone she never wanted to be
Baby girl
You put your dolls away
Cause in the modern age
You are just dust and decay
Waiting to wither away
Voice limited by our digital way
PC problems
Facebook issues
And all of your Teddy bears
Still miss you
Furry friends that stood by you
Till your nightmares ended
Softness against a cold hard and bitter reality
Become the fatality
Of our stumbling steps towards
A techno society
And the comforting conversations
We shared with our stuffed animal nation
Flicker and fade into the forgotten
Less technical age
Can I send a secret note?
Some words for you alone
A meaning no-one else can find
For feelings still unknown

Can you keep that secret note?
And guard it with your heart
Please recall my words to you
For when we're worlds apart
Yay! Poem! whatever.
